I do not think so. Again, thank you very much for this reply!

Exactly.

Yes, it did. Very, very good software.
I had some problems with an LFS on a notebook I owned, and with paco, I am 
considering to try again with a new notebook, when LFS-6.9 is released.

I have been doing it repeatedly.

Yesterday, after speending some hours with several package upgrades in LFS 6.5, 
6.7,6.9, and for one that could be removed with "make uninstall" (alsa-lib), I 
generated the same problem.

To make the story short, I just tried (obviously without sucess) to remove with 
paco, then I removed from paco database all logs, using paco -U alsa-lib, 
uninstalled, installed with paco, and then was able to "unpaco" and paco. After 
finishing the upgrades, I did the same with iptables (paco -U iptables) and now 
paco is clean, showing only really paco-installed software:
$ paco -sMFCndd alsa-lib
3.5M [ ]  132 [ ] (   )  24-Jul-2011 15:59  alsa-lib-1.0.24.1
$ paco -sMFCndd iptables
2.6M [ ]  150 [ ] (   )  24-Jul-2011 21:41  iptables-1.4.12

Águas passadas (passed waters; I think, in English, it is "water under the 
bridge").

Perhaps, paco is a good candidate for some future BLFS releases?

Thank you very much again.
